New Business: It is suggested that we need signs to state that this is a private club “members only” since the pistol and rifle ranges are so close to the road we are finding more and more nonmembers using the facilities. We also need gravel down at the Trap parking lot. Rich Hoover mentioned that the gutters on the main clubhouse need cleaned out and fixed properly.
